Passenger-side airbag cover to canister attachment

摘要

The reaction canister of a passenger-side airbag module is locked into position behind the instrument panel in such a manner as to permit freedom of movement of a retaining member along three axes while retaining structural integrity. This results from an arm depending from the reaction canister passing through an enlarged opening in the retaining member extending from the panel, or a portion thereof. The arm carries a rod which limits relative vertical movement of the retaining member between the canister and rod.
